London, April 1.-THE day ap-
polnled Tor the great demonstration IN
London against the Irish Coercion bill
now before the House OF Commons
opened brilliantly, the weather being
balmy aud the sun shining brightly.
The gathering In Hyde Park this
afternoon WAS the largest ever held IN
London. The people ~ere enthusias-
tic, 5ut orderly. A motion protesting
against the Coercion bill was offered
from fourteen platforms aud carried
amid great enthusiasm. The social
lists stole march on the police and
erected platform, from which several
speakers delivered orations. They
afterwurd held noisy meeting IN
Trafalgar square.
The estimates of the attendance nj
the Hyde Park meeting vary, but 1t
is certain that $50, 900 persons, includ-
iug onlooksrs, were present. The
procession took au hour aud hall 10
file into the park. The first contingent
was composed of members of Ro1ert
Emmett Lodge; then followed large
number Of Irish temperance lodges,
Radical workmen's clubs aud Social
Democratic societies. Numerous
bands OF music were in the line.
While passing the Carlton and other
Conservative clubs the bands played
the dead March in SAUL aud the
"Marseillaisc. Green banners aud
Irish national cmblcms were conspic-
uous in the ranks. Among the
notices displayed on the banners
we're these Justice for Ireland;

The effect of the careful arrange
ments that had been made to avoid
confusion at the park was seen in the
admirable order in which the paraders
grouped themselves around the four
teen platforms. The greatest throng
gathered at the platforms from which
Lord Mayor Sullivan OF Dublin, aud
Coneybear aud William Redmond,
member Of Parliament, spoke. Lord
Mayor Sullivan, in coarse of most
effective speech. asked: lis il the wish
Of the workman of London that the
honest, Woodworking tenantry OF Ire
land should be forever crushed DOWN.
A tremendous response of mo" re-
sounded throughout the park. The
mention that the Queen was about to
celebrate her jubilee by sigDing away
the liberties Of the people Of Ireland
brought forth a torrent of misses, and
the mention of Mr.. Chamberlaia's
name aroused q tempest OF groaps and
Kisses, with cries of "TraitOr y
Sullivan in conclusion assured his
hearers that the demonstration would
carry hope and JOY to the hearts of
the Irish. II would cheer many a
poor, struggling man to know that
England was no enemy of Ireland.

NAPOLE0N'S ATTEMPT TO COMMIT
SUICIDE.

At the period Of the retreat from
Moscow Napoleon had secured
means to avoid falling alive into the
hands Of his enemies in case of acci-
dent. He had procured from his
surgeon, WAN, o sachet, which he
wore round his neck during the
time that the danger lasted. Some
said this was opium; others insisted
that it was preparation compound
ed by the celebrated Cabanis, and
the same with which Condorcet, the
deputy, had destroyed himself.
Whatever it was, Napoleon had
preserved this sachet in one of the
secret-drawers of q travelling dress
ing-case, which he always took on
his campaigns. That night at
Fountainebleau he bethoueht him
that the moment to have recourse to
this terrible eXpedient had arrived.
One of his Wallets, whose bed was
placed behind his half opened door,
had heard him rise and seen him
stir something into a coffee-cup,
drink it and lie down again.
In a short time violent pains in
the stomach and bowels forced from
Napoleon the admission that he was
dying. Then the man took upon
himself to send for those who were
most intimate with the Emperor.
WAN was not forgotten, and when
he learned what had happened and
heard Napoleon complain that the
action of the poison was not sufil-
GENTLY rapid, he lost his head and
rushed away from Fountalnebleau.
After n long swoon, followed by a
profuse perspiration, the pains
ceased and the alarming sysptoms
disappeared, either because the dose
had been insufficient or because the
poison had lost its effect through
time.
1t is said that Napoleon, astonish-
ed to find himself still alive, re-
Nected for few moments, and then
exclaimed, "God does not will it ia
be-" and, yielding himself into the
hands of Providence, who had just
saved his life, resigned himself ia
his new destlnies. II Nine. Durand's

DIPLOMATIC GOsBE5poaDsasE or TIE
UNllED oihiES.

Probably no member OF the
Cabinet remembers seeing Secretary
Bayard using spectacles, writes
Washington correspondent OF the
Boston ddCort,Ser. Yet there is
considerable diplomatic correspon-
dcnce Of such 4 nature that forces
him to peer at it through convex
lenses. He looks through glasses
vicariously, however. pcrusing
epistles in n foreign tongue by
means of spectacles on another
mans nose. This man, short.
broad, brown, thick and crisp cf
beard and hair, sitting among u
group of tables that groan under q
pile Of hooks in all sorts of langua-
ges, would be at once taken for
German savant.
He is plain American citizen,
however, though his linguistic
studies have tingod his syllables
with just u breath of European nc
cent. He reads dozen languages
and speaks more than half as many.
Henry w. Thomas has served the
Government for seventeen years,
and always found his moments
busy. Most of his work has been
translating 81 anish and Freach.
These are almost the only languages
in which the diplomatic correspon-
dence that comes to Washington is
written. The languages Of which
Spanish is the mother tongue cling
tenaciously to that as vehicle of
expression. 1t is also an unwrtten
rule almost invariably observed that
the European country which does
not use its official language drops
into French when it comes to write
State documents going abroad.
Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Russia,
Holland, Belgium, Austria, oil
correspond with the United States
in French. The Central and South
American States write almost to a
unit in Spanish, while even Portu-
gal employs French. Germany uses
its own tongue, but Switzerland
seems to vibrate between French
and English. China and Japan
official correspondents have funny
way of doing. They write the letter
in their own tongue on one page and
the translation into English on the
following one. Mr.. Thomas thus is
spared the trouble of Anglicising
the tea chest characters.
There is a lot of queer documents
hidden in the closets, drawers and
pigeon.holes of this foreign-looking
room. Here is letter in Hebrew,
written by Jew in Palestine, full
of flowery phrases, all printed with
q pen in India ink, the introduction
wriihing above The body of the letter
in fantastic quirls. Here is a Con-
sul's certificate in Spanish. Record
is kept of all these consular papers.
In q big official envelope is letter
written to President Hayes by a
Philadelphia Hebrew in his native
tongue, and evidently accompanying
Il portrait of Hayes. Its humility
is almost sheepish. "What am /
that l should come to the ruler of
ten thousands!" is one phrase but
that thought is repeated about four
teen times, the epistle closing with
an cnireaty that the writer receive
some acknowledgment of his gift.
One to President Grant reads in
much the same tone.
When Mr.. Thomas is asked about
the Cutting episode he smiles
sphinx-lke, and says he had good
deal to read in those days. He has
not read anything about Minister
Manning yet.--Chicogo Times
